MI Alg2 High School Content Expectations
Addressed Within the Probability and Counting Unit
L1.2.1 Use mathematical symbols to represent quantitative relationships and situations.
L1.3.1 Describe, explain, and apply various counting techniques; relate combinations to Pascal's triangle; know when to use each technique.
*L1.3.3 Recognize and explain common probability misconceptions such as "hot streaks" and "being due." *S4.1.1 Understand and construct sample spaces in simple situations (e.g., tossing two coins, rolling two number cubes and summing the results). *S4.1.2 Define mutually exclusive events, independent events, dependent events, compound events, complementary events and conditional probabilities; and use the definitions to compute probabilities. *S4.2.1 Compute probabilities of events using tree diagrams, formulas for combinations and permutations, Venn diagrams, or other counting techniques.
*S4.2.2 Apply probability concepts to practical situations, in such settings as finance, health, ecology, or epidemiology, to make informed decisions.
*Expectation was removed from the Algebra 2 course, but is still required by the State of Michigan.
